This was our second time glamping at this campsite, this time we chose the Rabbit's Burrow so we could enjoy the hot tub since it was my birthday trip. Last year in October we stayed in the Fox's Den lodge and both are perfect! We had everything we needed in the lodge and outood kitchen area as well.
They have updated the shower and toilet block and while they do look a lot better to the eye, much more modern and are kept clean, the showers have been replaced with sensor ones so you have to keep touching this little sensor button to activate the shower every 15 secs or so. I had the scare of lathering up in shower gel and then the shower wouldn't come on so I had to wrap up and run in the one next to me and that one eventually came on, luckily no one was in. I laughed about it after! They have 3 showers and 3 toilets for the ladies, big round mirrors, loo paper plenty, showers are hot enought (although I miss a removable shower head and a switch to adjust the water temp! not everyone likes super hot showers). Did the job!
The staff are lovely as always (Fiona and her dog Lola were there so we were happy to see them again). Onsite shop is well stocked and reasonably priced with everything essential you might need. They also do fresh pastries if ordered the night before and fresh coffee, too.
No food van this year due to staffing issues, however they did specify this in bold in our booking confirmation so we were made aware prior to arriving which didn't bother us.
It's one of our favourite campsites in The Lakes and we can't wait to go back. It was pretty much full when we stayed but still so quiet and everyone kept to themselves and we could enjoy the peace and quiet. Pitches seem levelled enough, some have electric hook-up too.
Plenty of lovely walks straight from the campsite and a pub not far. Laundry and fridge-freezer facitilies. Campfires allowed and the firepits can be hired from the shop (£5).
Firewood costs £6.5/bag and heat logs are £7.5, kindling+firelighters £2.5/bag.
We will certainly be back here again. Great value for money. Thank you Moss Howe team!
